Tax Accounting Methods

Accountants, judgment, and real world impact.

Regulation by regulation, ruling by ruling, case by case – each year brings increasing complexity to the task of determining the timing of recognizing income and deductions, and identifying the optimal treatment for a company’s specific industry and size. The choice of accounting method for numerous items throughout the tax return can often have immediate and significant impact on a company’s cash flow, profitability, and risk exposure.
